Article Preview

Abstract:

Aiming at the water security problem, the Reclamation area was took example to analysis. The WPI of every three years during 2000-2009 of Reclamation area is calculated by using weighted average method. The results show that WPI appears in an increasing trend during past 10 years in Reclamation area. If the following aspects can be improved in the future including controlling the pesticide and fertilizer, reducing water loss and soil erosion, increasing forest coverage, irrigation efficiency and investment in hydraulic construction, the utilization rate of water resources will be further improved.
